Why are liberals siding with Portland's violent anarchists against law-abiding feds?

Why are the (former) States rights/small government republicans now siding with the CentGov coming in and snatching people?

So you admit you are making generalizations. At least that point is cleared up.

Lefties oppose things done to them that they do to others. :2razz:

I try my best not to lump people into the same category. I am not going to lie and say I have never done so, but I do try to see people as individuals and realize that not everyone has the same motivations as those they associate with. When President Trump was elected, there were many who believed anyone who voted for him was racist because of the perception that Trump is racist. That discounts a lot of reasons why people may vote for someone. I know of several people who did not vote for Hillary because they did not like her, or they voted for Trump because they hoped he would provide a much needed change from the status quo. Those are not racially motivated reasons for voting him into office.

Ok, but that doesn’t answer my question. Do you oppose such generalizations when you see them or only those from the right?
 
Yesterday, I saw a video of the feds hauling away a woman for dancing around them.

It depends on whom it is directed at and the language being used. There are individuals who have made it clear that they belong to the subsets people refer to. If it is someone I am unfamiliar with, I have been known to correct those generalizations on both sides.

The guy you mention wasn't protesting or a violent anarchist. He was 'arrested' (taken by unidentified men who didn't inform him that he was being arrested or why he was stopped and put into an unidentified vehicle) while walking down the street.

And he was released without charge an hour later. Thats a far cry from the "Pinochet Trump" accusations that our lib friends are faux-raging about, dont you think?

These "protestors" you claim to support have killed children and put their foots on toddler's necks, and you also have Dem mayors joining in.

Snatching one person then letting him go unharmed is an epidemic to you?

Id rather support some law and order than the looting, burning, child killing anarchists your side supports.

The bulk of hypocrisy lately has come from the left. Lefties thought those protesting lockdowns were the worst people ever, practically intentionally killing older people, then mass protests happened that they agreed with, and suddenly protesters were brave to risk the virus and there was no concern for infecting boomers. Even now, the virus is only trotted out as a concern when it’s people doing things they don’t like. Lefties want us to not assume all protesters are the same as rioters yet they want us to judge all cops on the actions of a very few. Lefties claimed the violence breaking out in protests were really caused by white supremacists while, at the same time, opposing cracking down on the violence. Lefties saw vandalism as no big deal until it it was “Black Live Matter” murals that were defaced.

Earlier this year, small groups of right-wing protesters demanded that states open up. Trump sided with them and states acquiesced to their demands, and the virus is now spinning out of control.

Now, millions have been protesting against racist police brutality, and the federal response is to beat them.

Interesting contrast.

There you have it, folks. According to this article, the Feds arrested exactly one man, and he was released with no charges an hour later. The whole thing about grabbing people from the street is MSM hyperbole.

So why are the libs supporting the anarchists and BLM with their violent attacks towards children? One simple reason: TDS.

:confused:

What a strange argument.

Trump sends troops to arrest anarchists, yet they only bag one guy, who was released without being charged.

So tell me then...WTF is Trump doing in Portland?

The police, local or federal, should not be dressed up in military style uniforms, with the gear and mentality of a special forces team clearing houses in Fallujah. You only support this because you're a dyed-in-the-wool Trump fanboy that values hyper-partisanship over the Constitution.

Let me get this straight. When you're in trouble and in need of being saved, if your savior is dressed in a military style uniform you would refuse the help.

I won’t deny that you do see pretty reasonable. I’d be legit interested in which of my generalizations you believe to be inaccurate.

I wouldn't be surprised for Trump's riot re-election show, that there is actually a faction of Trump goons that are privatized and hired by feds, and that they are setting the fires, defacing property and then blaming it on fictitious anarchist.

How many peoples civil rights have to be violated before you consider the matter worthy of advocacy?

They are idiotic reasons.

Trump brought us Putin's Vichy America.

It was foreseeable and clearly so when Trump handed over classified info in the oval office in early 2017 to the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador with no American in the room. I reiterate, there was absolutely no American in the oval office at the time. Not even one.

A better question is why aren’t libertarians siding with the protesters? Here’s that tyrannical government with its monopoly on violence you’ve been crying about for years. Armed government agents are oppressing the rights of your fellow citizens, where’s your outrage? I’d say the silence had been deafening but actually you guys have been pretty outspoken about supporting the government (ref: this thread). Was all that tree of liberty stuff just talk?
 
Two options. They are mentally ill like all the other idiot leftists that have become deranged. Or...they are just that ****ing stupid.

Is that all you saw. You did not see them assaulting peaceful protesters. Attacking the Wall of moms. I guess what they say is true. People only see what they want to see

Liberals are utterly incapable of honesty, which is why they are so miserable. When your entire life is nothing but lies, it's very stressful.

Riots and looting took place after MLK was assassinated. Riots and looting took place as Indians were pushing the Brits out of their country. None of this changed the fact Jim Crow and colonization needed to end. And none of what is going on now changes the fact that we need to address police brutality, poverty, and systemic racism.

It's in our history. Rioting, that is. Riots go on, and so does progress. Trumpists act like rioting is unAmerican. It is supremely American. Even for workers' rights, see Haymarket Square, Chicago 1886.

Race riots. Here ya go:

Race Riots in the U.S.

A few to get started:

1898: Wilmington, North Carolina.
1906: Atlanta, Georgia.
1917: East St. Louis.
1919: Red Summer.
1921: Tulsa, Oklahoma.
1943: Detroit.
1965: Watts.
1967: Newark.

Both sides cherry pick images. Difference being; there are 100 times more peaceful protesters in that photo than all the rioters combined in photos picked from the Trump cherry tree.
